A group of Australian citizens were kidnapped on international waters and beaten senseless on camera by their captors - Israel

The most prominent Israel advocate in Australia - Jillian Segal - has so far said nothing about the welfare of her fellow Australian citizens nor condemned this atrocious abuse of human rights and brutality by her home state of Israel

Jillian Segal is an employee of the Australian people charged with promoting "social cohesion" and her silence on this blatant Israeli abuse of her fellow Australians is a disgrace to these abused citizens and to the Australian taxpayers who fund her

I don’t know if people still remember David Niven, born this day in 1910? He was an Oscar-winning actor who brought effortless charm and wit to every role - and was a great raconteur...

In the 1970s, Peter Norman was one of the fastest sprinters on Earth, an Australian athlete who shocked the world by winning silver in the 200 meters at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. But his greatest moment had nothing to do with speed.

At the medal ceremony, American runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists in a Black Power salute to protest racism. The gesture became one of the most iconic images in sports history. What most people don’t know is that Peter Norman stood with them.

Norman wore an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge in solidarity. He even suggested that Smith and Carlos share a pair of gloves when Carlos forgot his own, which is why one raised a right fist and the other a left.

The backlash was brutal. While Smith and Carlos were expelled from the Olympic Village, Norman returned to Australia and was quietly punished. Despite running qualifying times for the 1972 Olympics, he was never selected. Officials and media labeled him a troublemaker. His career collapsed.

He fell into depression, struggled financially, and faded from public memory, even though he still held the Australian 200m record for over 50 years.

In 2006, when Peter Norman died, Smith and Carlos carried his coffin. They called him “the third man on the podium.”

It took until 2012 for the Australian Parliament to officially apologize for how he was treated.

Today, Peter Norman is remembered not just as an athlete, but as a man who sacrificed his career to stand for something bigger than sport.

Gladiator’s ending is perfect because Maximus wins without surviving. He defeats Commodus, restores Rome’s honor, and then lets go of the world that took everything from him. He dies not as a slave or a general, but as a man finally allowed to go home.

😂 Interesting Fact:

Tom Hiddleston is classically trained in various forms of dance, and he initially hesitated to perform on the show because he didn’t want to seem like he was showing off his professional skills in a casual setting. However, Alan Carr’s infectious energy and the studio audience’s cheers convinced him to improvise a routine, which he later admitted was one of the most spontaneous and nerve-wracking moments of his publicity tour.
The “Rasputin” dance sequence became an instant viral hit, but many fans didn’t realize that Hiddleston actually practiced those specific traditional moves as part of his preparation for earlier stage roles. The production team was so impressed by his agility in a suit that they kept the cameras rolling much longer than planned, capturing the genuine laughter of the other guests on the sofa who were completely caught off guard by his rhythmic precision.

There was a time when Super Bowl performances were worthwhile and made history.

One of those moments was with Prince at Super Bowl XLI in 2007.

It is considered one of the most iconic performances in Super Bowl history. Prince was out of this world.
